Introduction
Jijue website was created by a multidisciplinary team of students from Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology. The aim of the web app is to provide a user-friendly platform for individuals to assess their HIV risk and connect them to Health Facilities for further management.
The platform offers users the ability to access testing for HIV and other STIs; and links users to services, including PrEP, through networked service providers.
Information on HIV
HIV is the virus that causes AIDS and can be transmitted through unprotected sex (vaginal, anal, or oral sex)
with someone who is living with HIV; contact with blood through sharing needles (ex. injecting drugs);
